Dolly Parton - My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy (Just The Way I Am)
From a shack by a mountain stream
To a room in New Orleans
So far from my Blue Ridge Mountain home
The men I meet ain't warm and friendly
Like the one in old Virginie
Oh they ain't real like my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
I was just a little past eighteen
When I came to New Orleans
I'd never been beyond my home state line
There was a boy who loved me dearly
But I broke his heart severely
When I left my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
Life was dull in my hometown
Lights were out when the sun went down
And I thought that city life was more my style
But nights get lonely away from home
And it's easy to go wrong
The men ain't kind like my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
New Orleans held things in store
Things I'd never bargained for
And every night a different man knocks on my door
But late at night when all is still
I can hear a whippoorwill
As I cry for my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
Oh but I can never go back home
Since the boy I love is gone
He grew tired of waiting for me to return
They say he married last October
But I never will get over
Oh the sweet love of my Blue Ridge Mountain boy
Blue Ridge Mountain boy

In the intervening years the nose got smaller and the boobs got bigger. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

Awesome! Miss Dolly "live" on the stage of the old Ryman. I feel like I'm right there 1969.Great Vintage Footage wish there were more. She has one of the most unique, angelic voices ever. Course I'm a big fan and got most all her lps from the 60's!!

Dolly, oh Dolly! You can almost FEEL the sweat in the room - and she so cool and kind! Pity about the break at 1:07, one of the emotional high points of the song...

I'm not sure if what she is sporting here is technically a beehive. I think a beehive had the hair pulled tighter together. This is basically big wig hair!! ;)
